i here ya.. he only races people when he knows he will beat them.. i raced him back when my car went 12.4 and he was in his kenne bell cobra...... then my buddy raced him in his 98 ss runs 11.2s NA and kelly was in his eclipse AWD and took my buddy to a sandy road... basically knew he would hook and my buddy would spin..

The panhard bracket itself looks pretty strong, only thing I would do is run a few more welds on it and it should be pretty solid, I cut mine in half to move it in more so I had a good look at it.

When you start to really 60ft the car you'll need to put it back on. The car tends to walk without it.

If you go fast enough to need to add the brace back on I would just convert to a wishbone
